The Fulton fans tell me besides being so young that they have lost a lot of kids to other schools.Said kids in Knox Co can pick any school they want and dont have to go to the school they are zoned for

I don't know of one public school personally that isn't open zoned. Every school has to deal with the potential for their middle school or high school kids to transfer or enroll at other schools.

Truth! And it is legal. If a kid doesn’t want to be a Falcon, I am perfectly fine with that. My problem is the blatant acts of some in the county that go out and recruit these young kids walking the halls of middle schools that feed several different high schools. We have all benefited at some point or another from out of zone kids but my problem is with the adults involved. 

Nobody wants to speak on that however, let’s just look the other way as long as it benefits those we support.

 

Injuries and youth have been the downfall of the Falcons thus far.

Be careful about pointing fingers.  Not one school in Knox County doesn't play that game.  Some play it better than others, but they all play it to some extent.

I don’t see how you can say that I am pointing fingers, interesting that you are the first to respond however. I’m not going to get into crapfest over this. If the shoe fits, wear it!

 

As I stated, coaches that get to go into middle schools with open arms, whenever they want to, isn’t right. PERIOD. If you think it is then you are a huge part of the problem.

A LA the starting quarterback for the Falcons.

Read my previous messages..... my problem is not with kids choosing where they want to go as incoming 9th graders. I have zero issue with that. My issue is with coaches repeatedly going into middle schools weekly.

High school coaches or feeder program coaches?  The high school coaches can't do that per TSSAA.  Scott Cummings can attest to that from his Cleveland days.  

If you have knowledge of high school coaches being inappropriate in the middle schools then let you local high school coach know and pass it on to the bunker in Hermitage.  

And my words were just a reminder that everybody plays the game in Knox County, and pretty much beyond.  Those who claim that their favorite program is pristine are either naive or they are just fooling themselves.

Was the current starting QB recruited last year (prior to last season)

from another high school by a staff member?

Well, you are not oblivious good sir. I don’t need to report anything. It will never be taken care of appropriately. It will only hurt the student athletes of programs. Never the so called adults.

As my oblivious buddy HTV has said, if you have proof. Report it! We are 0-5 and staring 2-3 and 7 square in the face. Put our program out of its misery.

No, and you also didn't answer the question.  

And as I have said many times before, I am all for freedom of choice in education for parents for their kids.  I have no problem with transfers, but sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side.  Too many parents don't think out the implications of what happens if things don't go as they hope.  

It's not an easy decision to make, but the coaches can't force somebody to transfer.

No Dog in the fight, however, I notice that this was the Clinton vs. Oak Ridge thread.... all of a sudden we are talking about Knox County Schools and the recruiting services. Ill go ahead and start up the topic on another Thread to make this very interesting for discussion! 

 

On the other Hand, Oak Ridge should take care of Clinton very easily this Friday! I know it is a rivalry to some in the community, players, and admin! However, over the past years/seasons. Oak Ridge has dominated the series.
